all 2x6's, and i plan on a 1/2 to 3/4 plywood top. nothing fancy mind you, but quick, easy, and durable. i built one for my dad, and he's put it through some heavy usage, and we only need to replace two of he top boards because he was a little rough on the ends.

If you have built one and it works then I would do another. My first thought was it might want to move if you were planing on it from left to right (or vice versa). So I was thinking make the legs L shaped. Attach a stringer across the bottom under the shelf. But if it works.....
 
For pics of what Jeff H. is saying check out his bench build pics on his website...I'm in the process of making one similar to his...

BTW, thanks Jeff H. :wave:
